My answer to this is to abandon your shot as soon as possible and turn it into a guard pull, or just shoot singles, but I know that's not what you were looking for.

Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza may have the most triumphal example of this @ Mundials 2004 absolute final (with the help of a ref who just wouldn't DQ him; it was gi competition by the way), which just made the rematch @ ADCC 2005 absolute finals (no-gi) all the more epic.

Yeah dropping straight to x guard rules too. The "pick them up and put them down on their back" move from x guard is so much easier than shooting a double.

My go to move is arm drag, if that fails-single, if that fails-drop to x. I don't care how it translates because I'm there to have fun not to win fights.

For reference, even Koscheck has said that they train in the gi at AKA. This is a guy who has been wrestling since he was literally in the womb, but trains in the gi because it makes him a more technical submission wrestler. Training in the gi is a good way to get good at BJJ and submission wrestling, not just for the gi, but in general.

As others have said, the main trick is to keep your head up which wrecks the angles needed for a guillotine. Alternatively, if you're like me and terrible at wrestling but still insist on shooting, let them get the guillotine, pass to side control when you land, and sub them with a Von Flue choke.

My slightly under one year of gi bjj and one class of no gi has led me to the following over-simplified conclusion : gi has more moves.

Also, if you are a lot bigger and stronger than your training partners, taking your Gi off almost feels like cheating because you can just power your way out of a lot of what they are trying to do. With the Gi you can't budge the small fuckers unless you use technique.

Warning: doesn't work against a McKenzietine, in that passing to side control doesn't alleviate the blood choke.

True, and my response was more of the comedy options anyways. For the serious record: do not willingly dive into a guillotine. Keep your head up (they can't choke you with their armpit).

I do this technique called a suplex. You probably haven't heard of it, it's pretty obscure.

I got it from wikipedia, from Roger's article.

Loss Alexandre Ribeiro Points (4-2) World Jiu-Jitsu Championship (Absolute Division) 2008 Final
Loss Alexandre Ribeiro Points World Jiu-Jitsu Championship (Absolute Division) 2006 Final

It's wikipedia though, but reading it was what prompted the question.

Incidentally, Roger claimed that the last loss in 2008 was influenced by his MMA training that year (I assume for the Yuki Kondo fight), so he skipped MMA in 2009, went on his epic 2009 Mundials run, then claims to have just trained gi (probably not entirely true) for Randleman since he had the 2010 Mundials coming up, and this year was consciously focused on the 2011 ADCC/Mundials over the Prangley fight.

There are a couple types of modified guillotines that work even if the person getting choked passes to side control. McKenzie uses a prayer choke I think and then there's the elbow up guillotine and they work pretty much the same way I think and can be defended the same way, but it's less about position and more about preventing that arm from coming up.

You can't alleviate the choke by moving to cross side but if you can keep your opponents non-choking arm pinned to their side and drive your weight into and through the choke you can avoid the choke while you hand fight and you can pretty much hang out for as long as you want so long as you maintain control of that opposite elbow. I don't actually have much experience with McKenzie's choke so I honestly don't know exactly how to defend a prayer choke but it looks pretty similar, I'll try it out. Here's what I mean:

Here's a video of Kenny Florian explaining the modified guillotine.

Here's the McKenzie version (I think).

Here's Din Thomas defending. Especially for the elbow up version you want that other arm pinning his elbow to his side for as long as you're in the choke.

All the above answers are good, if the double is the shot you want to do and are strong with may I suggest shooting a double and switching to a single. It allows you to still get that penatration with the double but then you can switch your hands to the single on whatever side you have more control over, stand up and finish the single while pulling your neck out of danger. When I go against high level black belts and they don't just decide to jump guard I very rarely will shoot a double all the way as it usually ends up bad. It's all personal preferance really but I find that by shooting a double into a single leg I keep my neck out of danger and it leads more readily into landing into half guard rather than full guard.

Edit - And to follow the discussion about No-Gi and Gi training they both strenthen the other by cross training, everyone pretty much trains both if you are an Abu Dhabi quality jits person.

Show up but say that you are new and that you would love for them to go a little easy on you, also to tell you what you are doing wrong/correct. Rolling with a newbie is quite fun for a lot of people because then they can gage how better they have become as well, so that shouldn't be a problem. Just whatever you do, don't spaz around trying youtube leglocks and flying "i will kick you on the teeth by accident" armbars. Relax, stay calm and try to identify whatever is happening to you. Oh and tap quickly and go for position rather then submission.

Bohemian Nights, whenever you get your black-belt by Marcelo Garcia you are obligated to come train with me on Sørlandet.

You're like a practice dummy that moves. I'm gonna roll with you, and use the oppertunity to practice my leg overs in side control or something like that. Just go, experience is good.

What I used to do was roll, then go home and look up a sub, a position, or a pass I'd had trouble with that day and try to figure out where I was doing it wrong.

The nice thing about BJJ is that it has a great built-in teaching mechanism. If you screw up, someone strangles you. And it keeps on happening until you stop screwing up. So even if you're new and you're getting smashed, it's still useful experience. Knowing what subs feel like and what exactly makes them effective is really helpful.

It was pretty cool the other day because I rolled with a new guy who has a wrestling background, just like me. I saw in him pretty much exactly how I was when I first started last year (not keeping my head up, getting caught in guillotines and chokes all the time). Even though I'm still terrible, it was a nice way of seeing how I've progressed.

It's important to roll with people newer than you as well as people more experienced than you, because you shouldn't get used to your opponents always reacting the correct way. It teaches you the reasoning behind a lot of the basics.

Also, the way to practice a submission is try it against the newest guys first, then slightly better guys, then work your way up to doing it on your equals and betters. Basically, new guys are welcome because you're a useful tool in everyone else's training, and you make them feel better about themselves while you're at it, and they'll teach you some cool poo poo too.
